4 bedroom detached house for sale

Set discreetly on the edge of Brixton village and surrounded by rolling South Hams countryside, Reeves House presents a rare blend of contemporary architecture, refined interiors, and everyday functionality. This exceptional lateral living home was completed in 2023 to an exacting standard, with an emphasis on clean design, comfort, and thoughtful detail. Designed by the acclaimed Ayres Haynes Architects and nominated for the Devon Building Control Partnership Award, the house is every inch the modern country retreat.



A strong architectural form, softened by natural materials and landscaped surroundings, sets the tone on approach. The exterior combines rendered concrete block with Greencoat PLX powder coated steel. A front door opens beneath a covered entranceway into a light filled entrance hall. Glazing above floods this welcoming space with natural light, establishing a calm and airy atmosphere that continues throughout.



The home unfolds across a single storey with an effortless sense of flow. A generous open plan living space lies at its heart, where high vaulted ceilings and expansive picture windows give an uplifting sense of volume. Bifold doors frame almost 180 degree views across the open countryside to the rear and open directly to the porcelain tiled terrace and garden beyond. Inside, the living and dining areas are grounded by Karndean flooring and centre around a beautifully designed kitchen by System Six, where sleek cabinetry is paired with quartz worktops and splashbacks. Throughout the home, carbon fibre door handles provide a tactile reminder of the exceptional specification and attention to detail found in every element of the design. Discreet LED task and mood lighting enhances the kitchen, casting a warm, ambient glow for entertaining while providing bright, efficient illumination for food preparation. This thoughtful lighting design elevates both the functionality and atmosphere of the space, complementing the clean architectural lines and high spec finishes, including a full height fridge and freezer, induction hob, warming drawer, Neff combi oven with microwave and grill, eye level Neff oven with hide n slide door, and dishwasher.



This home is more than just stylish—it is built for comfort and performance. Underfloor heating runs throughout, controlled thermostatically in each room, and a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery system ensures year round efficiency and air quality. The same attention to detail extends into the substantial integral garage, which also benefits from underfloor heating, a Hörmann electric garage door, a useful utility area fitted with a stainless steel sink unit with mixer tap, space for a tumble dryer, pressurised water system and Ideal combi boiler. A fully boarded and carpeted loft provides excellent additional storage.



The sleeping accommodation is well considered, comprising three double bedrooms and a flexible fourth bedroom or study. The principal suite has been designed as a private retreat, complete with countryside views, a dedicated dressing area with built in wardrobes, and an ensuite shower room with heated towel rail. Two further bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, both enjoy premium Porcelanosa fittings, heated towel rail, large format tiling, and rainfall and waterfall showers. A guest WC, also finished in Porcelanosa, sits discreetly off the entrance hall.



Outside, the garden has been carefully landscaped to echo the home’s refined character and accentuate the stunning countryside views. Broad porcelain tile patio and paving run along the rear elevation, bordered by raised beds, and steps out to a level lawn enclosed by hedging and mature planting. To the front, a very spacious tarmacadam private driveway offers ample parking, access to the garage, an EV charging point, and access to the rear garden while a secluded morning terrace offers a peaceful spot for coffee in the sun.
